Voltage SecureData Suite for Test/DevData-centric Protection for Sensitive Data in Test and Development Environments

Overview:

Test/Dev Environments Present Significant Security Risks

Generating data for test and development environments presents serious challenges for enterprise security and risk management. When data is copied from production databases and used directly for application development, large volumes of private data accumulate on unprotected servers and workstations. The use of outsourced and offshore QA and development services further increases the risks and costs of data leakage – potentially resulting in damages affecting reputation, compliance, and revenues.

An alarming number of data breaches, along with complex regulatory compliance requirements, highlight the need to de-identify sensitive data when moving from production to test, development, and training environments.

Traditional data masking solutions, such as random data generation, proprietary data scrambling, and rules-based masking, provide many data management and transformation capabilities, but don’t deliver the strong encryption and tokenization technologies that maximize data protection yet maintain the usefulness of the data for test and development.

Voltage format-preserving encryption solves this problem by maintaining the data formats, preserving referential integrity, and providing user control over maintaining numeric ranges, date relationships, selected digits within fields, etc. The net result is the best of both worlds – taking advantage of strong data encryption while still maintaining the value of the data in test/dev environments without the risk of breach or cost burden of compensating controls.

Voltage SecureData Suite for Test/Dev

Consisting of software, support and services, the Voltage SecureData Suite for Test / Dev is available in three application-specific configurations: Open Systems Standard Edition for basic data de-identification needs, the Open Systems Enterprise Edition for more frequent and complex de-identification needs, and the Mainframe Systems Edition for data de-identification directly on z/OS platforms.

Using the same components and technology as the rest of the Voltage SecureData product line, the Voltage SecureData Suite for Test/Dev can become part of an end-to-end, data-centric security architecture protecting data across an entire organization, including production, disaster recovery and analytics, in addition to test and development.

Voltage SecureData provides powerful data-centric solutions for businesses across many industries, including financial services, retail, e-commerce, healthcare, and telecoms, as well as one third of the global “top twenty” corporations and six of the top eight U.S. payment processors.
